Oh yea, that's right...er... Leftist's view.. No, I didn't get the memo, I'm not on the proper distribution list.
Which is why I'm happy with the SCOTUS pick we got from Trump... Imagine, a judge that thinks he's bound to rule based on what the law says and not on how he feels about it... Judges like him will end this kind of political prosecution....
Bringing charges? Sure.. Making them stick? That will take a judge and jury... Not all charges end up in convictions. Somehow I get the impression these guys will not get convicted, though it will cost them a lot of money to defend themselves, money that will likely be donated..
In the mean time, they will drag this through the press, giving PP a repeated black eye.... I'm guessing they will say "Mission Accomplished!" when this is all done.
On you PS ---- All of the video recorded was made available for anyone to view and I've heard from folks I trust who have taken the time to watch multiple hours of this that the edited versions are NOT unfairly edited to obscure or manipulate the context of what's happening. I make no specific claim beyond that is sure seems that PP is trying to spin out of the PR damage with their "it was deceptively edited" claim, and they would be highly motivated to lie about this if the edited versions videos where accurate. Is PP lying? I think it's likely, but I have no proof to offer of that. Your mileage may vary.
The complete sets of video is posted for all to see... You can go see for your self if PP is telling the truth if you have enough time to watch it all.
I've not see the videos, edited or not, so I don't know, but I've heard from many people I trust that the edited versions are not unfairly edited or pieced together to make PP look bad. Your mileage may vary, but I suggest anybody wishing to make authoritative claims like this not take either side's word for it but go watch the hours of video yourself.
I'd like to point out that not everyone charged is convicted either.. But I'd like to also ask the following:
What is a journalist? If there is an exception for being a journalist, then they are going to get off because they where acting like journalists doing an investigative report on PP, which they released to the public and it became news. Sure seems like a good basis for the "We are journalists" claim to come.
Who says government is driven my logic? And don't give them any ideas.....
(MEANWILE at home) I'm sorry sir, madam, but before you complete that unprotected activity I need to know if you have a license to have a child.... May I see the license please? What do you mean you don't have it on you? You know the law, It's required..
"Someone can already hide in a tree and view you with a long lens without your knowledge."
OK, let's use your analogy. That's illegal, generally classified as "peeping Tom/voyeurism/invasion of privacy/intrusion of solitude." So let's restrict drone operation in the same manner instead of simply letting them broadcast an ID. I like your idea even better.
Um... Not really. Sitting up in a tree on your property with field glasses might be repugnant, but I don't think it's illegal. As long as you are not trespassing. Some localities may have rules about some kinds of things you cannot take pictures of for security or decency reasons (like some perv running around with cameras in his shoes for that up skirt pic) but in general, if you are not trespassing, you get to stay up that tree.
So in this case, flying a drone over your yard, taking photos of the neighbors yard and it's contents is a legal activity. (Unless there is some local law saying otherwise.)
HOWEVER, all this is really a useless discussion. The FAA has authority over anything flying outdoors from the ground up. So in this case, they can impose any requirement on a drown flying outside they wish. Enforcement might be a problem, but they can make the rule..
You miss my point. ANYBODY can listen in now if you use insecure protocols...
E-mail is *not* a secure protocol (smtp). Sure you can encrypt your E-mail, but who goes though all the pain to share keys and do that? So your E-mail service doesn't sniff stuff, but that doesn't mean somebody else isn't.
DNS isn't secure... Sniffing port 53 on some network segment will get you a wealth of information about who's doing what on the network. Port 80 would give you the browsing content for any insecure browsing going on.
None of these require any special access beyond a packet sniffer on a network segment carrying the traffic..
Plus, how many people actually *do* the stuff you talk about? Almost nobody.. If you think you are not being tracked on the Internet, you are either not aware of the facts, or have fooled yourself.
Who follows the rules now? How many of you actually have read the TOS for your ISP? It's privacy policy?
Unless you know what's going on to start with and have taken extreme measures to avoid it, you are already being tracked every which way from Sunday. So your ISP now can packet sniff your traffic? Big woop...
If you care to keep your ISP in the dark, best you arrange to have a VPN connection 100% of the time for all your traffic. But I would expect that you are constantly ditching your browser cookies, never log in to anything, don't use E-mail or any protocol that is unencrypted now...
The ONLY compliant anybody has here is that your ISP keeping these records might make it easier for law enforcement to get this information. Even so, that will take a warrant, unless you ISP just gives up any information they have to law enforcement when they ask, even if they don't say please...
My Note 4 is a bit long in the tooth these days.. I'd welcome a Note 7.
Seriously, Samsung isn't going to do the burning phone thing again. It was bad enough the first time, one would figure that they'd be a whole lot more careful the second time around.
If you want to believe that's secure, power to you... I don't think I'd count on them not being able to get the necessary data off your device, but it's your risk to take.
DC Police have been going though all the available tape, identifying the protesters that broke the law then pressing felony charges.
My guess is they are going to grab all the pictures and video off their phones to see if they can ID a few more folks to charge and amass more evidence for the cases they have already charged..
My advice is.... If you intend to go protest, don't break the law.... If you choose to ignore my advice, I suggest you not take photos and videos of the proceedings and leave your electronic devices (Cell phones, tablets, cameras...) at home. Remember, if you get arrested and they think they have probable cause, they are going to be given a warrant to search your stuff and there won't be much you can do about it.
S4's have removable batteries... Personally, I carry multiple batteries for my Android Note 4, not because I have to, but it's nice to have a fresh battery in the time it takes to boot the phone.
Didn't we discuss this 2 or so weeks ago? Here's a summary of my conclusions (to save everybody time).
Your local theater chain is going to hate this idea, few people will pay this much to see the movie at home instead of the theater, somebody will figure out how to pirate the film from their living room with much better quality and have a full resolution torrent up within 3 hours of the film's release... I think distributers are fooling themselves thinking this will rake in more revenue...
Ah, come on... It was a warmer than normal winter here.... NOT the warmest winter on record, but in the top 5...
I don't think man is causing this, but let them take their victory lap... They will be converging on some hapless convention center during a record cold snap/blizzard some winter very soon.
Climate != Weather.... Weather != Climate.... Just because it's warmer today or this year, doesn't mean the climate is doing the same thing. If it keeps happening for a few years in a row, THEN one might be able to start making that argument, but not before the natural variability in the weather is factored out.
I'm not claiming the defense budget isn't full of waste.. Only that trying to equate the mission of NASA and the DOD is faulty. One is optional (NASA) the other is constitutionally required (DOD).

Congratulations. You got your wish. Planned Parenthood is NOT publicly funded right now.
It only is reimbursed by Medicaid for (non-abortion) services as would be any other health care provider serves Medicaid patients.
Isn't accepting Medicaid dollars pretty much the same as being government funded, at least in part?

Do be careful... This varies by State.
In this case, the state of CA doesn't allow recordings (audio or video) without all parties knowing they are being recorded with very few exceptions.
The complete sets of video is posted for all to see... You can go see for your self if PP is telling the truth if you have enough time to watch it all.

IF that is true, they are going to walk free....

Apparently not..
Well, actually it depends on what political side you are covering (or uncovering) when you do it in CA..

Yes, and it was amusing when Monty Python did the bit on film too...

My 3 year old android phone is fully up to date, software wise anyway.... I don't care if the other 71% want to go unprotected....

She got more votes than Obama in 2012. Electoral college system worked
Fixed it for you....
So... You are complaining because Trump has a large high profile family that now needs SS protection and THAT costs money?
Welcome to the 21st century...
Yea, just think what they did on that Apollo era sound stage.. (sarc off)...
